Signs that I am healthy

Your comments about that cake were so funny. Most of you thought it looked awesome, some thought it looked like too much. I agree with both sides...

Want to hear the crazy thing about that cake tho? It gave me such a bad stomach ache! And I know it was strictly from the cake because I also had a small piece today and my stomach immediately felt bad. Or it could have also been from the (awesome) strawberry Oreos because I had a few of those yesterday and got a stomach ache. I don't think my body is used to that much sugar and fat. I guess I really have been eating very healthy for a long time, so that amount of sugar has a noticeable effect on me. I figured I could eat it and work it into my daily points, but since it gives me a stomach ache, I will not be having any more!

In other news, I'm not going to get fully into it, but I have been feeling really emotional lately, dealing with old feelings, new feelings, relationship stuff, and just feeling conflicted, sometimes hurt, confused, etc. And... my point? I have not been eating in an attempt not to deal with it! Victory. I vent, cry, write, but not eat. Like today, I had a small piece of cake (small!), got that stomach ache, and actually haven't eaten since and was running errands and didn't even eat lunch (which never happens lol). Before, I would be wanting to snack all day long. I've come a long way.

Attitude of Gratitude: I'm grateful to see these random signs that show me that I actually am healthier now, both physically and emotionally.

That really is a victory! Dealing with emotions are tough, but doing it without food is awesome progress!!!

Go girl!!! Yea it is crazy when you eat the junk nowadays it's like our bodies aren't used to it. That's an awesome (and gross) feeling at the same time. Great job for getting through your troubles with alternative comforts!! Keep it up!!

I know exactly what you mean about how sugar or really any food out of the ordinary makes you feel. Whenever I eat something that doesn't benefit my body I feel super sick and just blah.

Oh boy I wish my stomach would hurt when I eat sweets! But then I never toally cut sweets out of my diet just try to have them in modeartion. But if they made me uncomfortable that would make my life so much more easier! Oh well.

Congrats on not eating through your emotions! I'm still having a hard time with that too.
